    I went to school in Boulder in the 2000s and everyone ate Justin’s peanut butter and almond butter. They were also super supportive of the community and donated products to lots of different events and organizations. I remember seeing their chocolate peanut butter and almond butter cups for the first time and was super impressed by their creativity and willingness to try new things. Super happy for their success.

    He was "lucky" to have the right idea at the right time. There was not so much competition at that time and it was easier to place a new product. The other main leg on his success was the initial credit of 75K for a roommate's parents. I guess banks were not interested and he had no funds himself to finance that.
    This is where most dreams shatter. Unfortunately.
    He seems to be a very nice humble down to earth guy.

      I agree, just as the non-meat wave was starting to peak. In regarding to loans: Bank I don't think would touch this stuff. They want slam dunk businesses for loans or business with lots of cap-ex/equipment that they can repo if things go south. What I notice that lots of these business need the "Bank of Family and Friends" to get that initial funding. It appears to be important to have a strong network and base. Not all come from families with lots of resources, so friends and other people in the network can bridge that gap if needed.

    I would have loved to taste his earlier versions. The current version has palm oil, which they probably thought was necessary for scaling up the company. Its sad because it cheapens the integrity of the product. These days, a premium nut butter is made just with nuts, no added oils or filler.

    • @KOSMOinfinite
      @KOSMOinfinite Před měsícem +12

      My guess, is that to scale you have to figure out a way to make an emulsifier. I do think that most people do not like the oil separation and palm oil would be an easy way to mitigated this from happening too much.

      Well, if you think about it you can mitigate the risk pretty much. If you flop, you're not gonna lose the whole 75000. You buy a second-hand machine for 75000 in order to check the viability of the product. If it sucks and you never get any sales, you re-sell the machine for around the same price, or a little less. But it's definitely worth it to attempt, even if it will cost you like 5000 dollars of savings when you resell it a little lower.
      Have to take that risk. It's just that most people see a big sum of money and are too scared. Investing 75000 without any backup plan would be stupid.

  •  Před měsícem +197

    As an owner of a similar nut butter brand, distrupting another area of the category, I have to say that I love his passion and how he was able to sum it up in a nutshell (pun intended). We are probably where Justin was in 2012-13 talking to WF, Wegmans, Target, testing out products in farmers markets across SoCal and getting traction nationwide but if I had to stress one thing from this, it’s that you gotta be in the right place at the right time. Hard work is expected but it means nothing without luck. And you increase your luck by being out there and staying relevant and consistent. So if you’re reading this and trying something on the side, keep doing it. It only takes one good person to look into your direction sometimes and it just snowballs after that. Good luck!!

    finally someone who got super rich with a great idea/product who admits that's still also a lot of luck to achieve it. Most billionaires or multimillionaires are like "everyone can achieve that" but most of them had the luck to be born in a rich family to get the capital, meet the right person at the right moment or whatever else. In his case without the 75k from his mates parents he may have never achieved it because another company could have learned about it before he had the chance to sell it to the bigger stores. It's still 100% his achievement but there are millions who have awesome ideas but only 1% of them will really have the luck you need not to get stomped before you can realize your idea.

Millions and millions stood in line daily looking at there products directly in front of them not at a store missing the product on the shelf.

      HEB has their own nut butters here in Texas that I swear by, under the ‘Central Market’ name. Also just peanuts and sea salt-or I usually get the unsalted variety, which is just dry roasted peanuts blended in their own natural oil.
      However, consumers buy into the flavor, taste, branding and marketing-and in that way Justin’s has always stood out on the shelves. It’s sort of like the “luxury” peanut butter for the Tesla driving crowd.
      Women also love that name because of Timberlake and Bieber.

    Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter actually uses better ingredients. I stopped consuming Justin's shortly after trying it and reading the ingredient list--it uses palm oil. No, thanks.
